COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A slightly roasted malt gives it a light amber color. The rich flavor dominates the malt/hops balance and is very popular among most beer drinkers.

France has not impressed me yet with their beers. Faint roasted malt on the nose and not much else. Colour is fine. Very thin beer, lacks the rich flavour that Ive come to expect in my ambers, and just doesnt feel right in my mouth. Very watery and all flavour disappears at the end. Very easy to drink for a 6% beer though. Whether that is a good thing or not is up for debate.

Amber brown bottle, Light copper and clear pour with small carbonated head. Light grain flavored stale water aroma. Watered down corn and malts with nothing here that resembled hops. I’m guessing they are going for the light lager market with this one.

Color is a pinkish peach pale while aroma is a sweet apple cider. flavor is sugary and cidery with a faint light malt. Palate is almost nil. Bottle from Zeke’s on Miami Beach.

Bottle. Yellow reddish colour. The aroma is a bit off. Tastes nondescript. Generic.

Alright. Pours a nice light brown. No smell, and taste is pretty domestic ale. Nothing too special. Had in the bottle. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

his beer poured a beautiful copper with a nice head. It went downhill from there. There's a slight aftertaste but I can't quite put my finger on it. It's a rubbery metalic taste. After I noticed it was from France I noticed some wine characteristics that reminded me of a dry white wine. It's not bad, but it's not what I want in a beer. This is better than most domestic pilsners and the price was cheap (plus a cool flip-top bottle!), but I still wouldn't buy another.

you wont believe where i drank this one...paris. yep thats right paris casino and hotel in las vegas. during lunch we proceeded to order about 6 if these between 2 of us. not because the beer was good or cheap. but because i needed the bottles for my homebrew. not good beer though in any means. steer clear. drink only in a pinch.

BrewDad (3687) - Olympia, Washington, USA - FEB 26, 2008
330ml Bottle - Gravity Room - Olympia, WA
Aroma – Light aroma with some skunky light struck aromas.
Appearance – Dark golden yellow color, clear with a thin head.
Flavor – A so so flavor of beer. The light struck came out in the flavor this was skunked for sure. Sat way too long getting here from France. The beer was flawed.
Palate – Ok Mouthfeel, it was there texture and it finished dry.
Overall – I was not impressed with this beer. The swig top was crusty like it had leaked and the beer was just not good. Had a horrible aftertaste and just did not go down well.

Uriel (146) - San Jose, California, USA - SEP 30, 2004
Fairly pale caramel color. Pours a quickly diminishing slightly off-white head. Malty and grassy aroma. MAlty and bandaid-ish flavor. Very thin mouhtfeel with not much character. It’s not a bad beer, there’s just not much to it. Lawnmower! But the bottle was less than 3 bucks, so I can’t complain too much.
